About Alexa
I grew up in South Africa, then fell in love with the US as a teenager and moved here as a lucky green card lottery winner. Growing up, my mother was an entrepreneur, and her small business powered my family and many others. From her I learned what a small business can do for the people who work there and the people it serves.
Business
I started my career as a consultant at Bain & Co., and ran a small business at nights and on weekends. Having fallen in love with building a business instead of advising others, I then joined the leadership team of a startup brand, which I helped grow from a small online company into a top-selling brand across the US’s largest retailers.
Education
I received my undergraduate degree from Brown University, and in 2026 I earned my MBA at Stanford Business School.
Family
I recently married my husband, Julien. I’m grateful for his enduring support of my entrepreneurial path. We are excited for our next chapter and for the adventure of moving where my acquisition takes us.
Backing
With the support of several seasoned business owners, executives, and investors, I can move quickly to close a transaction and be ready to take on leadership.
